Never Kill a Boy on the First Date – Buffy’s First Date (and First Red Flag)
This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re talking “Never Kill a Boy on the First Date” — where Buffy tries to have one normal night out and, shocker, the Hellmouth says absolutely not. Between crypt-side flirting, a brooding Giles reciting prophecies like a Victorian audiobook, and Owen’s obsession with death (red flag much?), this episode proves dating in Sunnydale is truly killer.
We break down how Buffy’s fight for balance — Slaying vs. social life — sets the stage for her whole journey, plus how the episode nails that early Buffy tone: campy, quippy, and a little tragic. Also, why does every “nice guy” in 90s TV have a pocket watch and a morbid hobby?
Plus: our takes on Giles’s father-figure guilt, Angel’s professional lurking skills, and a morgue date that somehow gets worse by the minute.
Slay along with us every Tuesday!
Watch Episode 6: “The Pack” before next week — and until next Tuesday, if the apocalypse comes, beep us!
